It was an immense pleasure to have had you as a friend. Although our time together was brief, it was long enough to realize what an incredible person you were, caring, kind, and generous-hearted. I loved our conversations, the moments of laughter, and the times we imitated Charlie Chaplin,memories I will always cherish. Your presence lightened the atmosphere, and your passing leaves us with immense longing. We will miss you. May God welcome you with all his love, and may your light continue to shine in our memories.

Em memória do querido avô de coração, Guerry

Foi incrível poder compartilhar momentos e conversas com você, sonhando juntos e falando sobre o futuro. Foi muito especial poder te ensinar português cada risada, cada tentativa de pronúncia, cada palavra aprendida ficará guardada com muito carinho na memória.
Você sempre foi uma pessoa muito querida e amada, e eu esperava com alegria o dia em que viria ao Brasil me visitar.
Agora, você permanece vivo em nossas lembranças e no nosso coração, onde continuará sendo sempre amado.

Te amamos, Guerry.
Com carinho,
